Abstract
Despite the numerous books and articles on the topic of Creole architecture, no previous work has attempted to explore the interrelationships between historical creolization in traditions of material culture and recent theoretical developments in the growing field of Creole culture studies. A brief history of the development of Creole architecture is followed by a sketch of creolization theory. This review explores what we might learn through an analysis of studies of creolization in vernacular architecture. The colonial and nineteenth-century vernacular of New Orleans functions as our test case.
